- Shutdown problem only when Cable modem connected.
- Posted by John \O\ on September 19th, 2004
I have a Webster 4000 cable modem connected to my NIC card (Netgear FA411)
and am using WinME, my problem is when I try to shutdown my PC, all the
windows close as normal but hangs at the last sec with a blank screen.
However if my Cable modem is disconnected from the NIC then it shuts down
perfectly....any ideas ??
PS: I remember having this problem some time ago when using another pc
(using WinME) with a Motorola surfboard SB4100 modem and remember tinkering
around with the network settings & it shut down perfectly but not sure
exactly which adjustments I made as its some time ago.
Can anyone advise ??

Device Manager, select the NIC properties, there is a setting to allow
the system to shut down the NIC to save power - power save mode - smart
power management, etc. This *might* be the setting, although most seem
to shut down just fine with this disabled.
